Local Representation at the Saratoga County Board of Supervisors’ Standing Committees

by Thomas Dimopoulos Saratoga TODAY

BALLSTON SPA — There are 21 municipalities – 19 towns and 2 cities – represented at the Saratoga County Board of Supervisors. Every municipality is represented by one supervisor, except for the larger populations of Clifton Park and Saratoga Springs which are each represented by two.

The Board of Supervisors meets monthly – typically at 4 p.m. on the third Tuesday of the month – to vote on proposals. This year’s annual budget is about $381 million - or a spending plan that works out to more than $1 million per day, every day of the year, including weekends and holidays.

The measures, proposals, budgets and resolutions upon which the Board of Supervisors votes typically come from the county’s Standing Committees. There are 12 Standing Committees, each with 5 to 7 members appointed by that year’s county chairperson. Some of the Standing Committees include: Economic Development, Law & Finance, Health & Human Services, and Public Safety.

In 2023, all 23 County Supervisors were appointed to at least one Standing Committee, with some appointed to multiple committees. In total, the 23 supervisors were appointed to 74 seats on the 12 Standing Committees.

The Town of Day is Saratoga County’s least populated municipality with a population of just over 800. The Day Supervisor was appointed to 4 Standing Committee seats.

By comparison, Saratoga Springs is the second most populated municipality in the county with about 28,500 residents, about 35 times more the number than Day. The two Saratoga Springs supervisors were appointed to a total of 6 Standing Committee seats.

Some other municipalities with less than 5,000 residents, and those with more than 20,000 residents, and the number of seats appointed to on the Standing Committees: Edinburg –1,333 population/ 3 seats; Hadley – 1,976 population/ 3 seats; Providence – 2,075 population/ 3 seats; Galway – 3,525 population / 3 seats; Charlton – 4,328 population/ 5 seats. Halfmoon – 25,662 population/ 4 seats; Clifton Park –38,029 population/ 9 seats.
